Clean and Well Stocked Cabin

Full kitchen was well stocked and clean. Bathroom was large and bed was comfortable. Owners sent a great list of restaurants and things to do. The jail motif was cool. Close to Glacier entrance and whitefish.

Pleasant Stay

We just stayed for an overnight but it was nice to walk around the property before dark and chat with Jen while petting the dogs. The room was comfortable and quirky in its own little way. Close to a couple of towns as far as dinner and breakfast opportunities. Easy drive up to Glacier National Park. Overall it was a very nice visit.

Creative stay

If staying in West Glacier, choose Fort Williamson location. A western town with beautiful and updated accommodations. Very Clean and the place has every necessity! Comfortable kind bed, clean bathroom and the Jail House location had everything we needed for our Glacier visit. Good restaurants in Columbia Falls 5 minutes away. And 15 minutes to Apghar Visitor Center and 30 minutes to Lake MCDonald. The property hosts were so helpful and nice also! Book your stay today!

Glacier National Park

We truly enjoyed our stay at Fort Williamson Sheriff Jail. Location to Glacier National Park was great. Short drive to the west entrance. It was a longer drive to the east entrance through a very scenic mountain pass. The Sheriff Jail has a very homey feel. We cooked breakfasts and dinners each day and had everything we needed for cooking indoors and outdoors. We used the fire pit and outdoor grill several times and enjoyed meeting the hosts and other guests around the fire. The hosts provided the fire wood and started the fire for us. Jennifer and Robert were very accommodating to make sure our stay was everything we hoped for. We would stay here again if we return tot he area.

Best place we have ever stayed!

Wow the old west town is awesome. Our “Jail” cabin was so unique. The attention to detail in each cabin is amazing. You can tell this is the hosts labor of love. Both hosts were very nice, readily available and happy to answer questions. The cabin was close to West Glacier and a reasonable drive to East Glacier and Flathead lake. This was the nicest place we have stayed.

Weekend Getaway

This place lived up to the listed and the pictures. It was a great place to stay and cozy home away from home with a theme. Love the theme of the place and definitely want to check out the other listings Fort Williamson has. The host was great in the communication and easy to work with. The check in and check out process was great. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a place close to Glacier National Park.

The sheriff's jail

Came down from northern Canada and was frozen to the Bone last week. Check in process was incredibly smooth thanks to the emails received from Jennifer. I was pleasantly greeted by her and her lovely dogs and was incredibly impressed with the layout of the area as well as the individual cottage/jail. Would highly recommend the jail as well as the other cabins which have various amenities. I will definitely be booking with them again as I travel through Montana on my next motorcycle trip.

This Old Western Town lodging was a gold mine of a find !

Gracious Hosts: If ever going to jail may it be Fort Williamson’s as it was evident that a lot of thought and time went into this relaxing, clean, comfortable, well stocked with amenities location. From the time of booking thru our actual stay Robert and Jennifer were upfront, courteous and kind which made our trip thoroughly enjoyable. The old western town flare of their lodging options is outstanding as well as their decor!

The BEST airB&B hands down!

We booked the Sheriffs Jail upon a recommendation of friends who stayed at the Saloon, and are so glad we listened to their advice. This is absolutely the best air B&B because of the fun decor, cleanliness of the accommodation, and the helpfulness of our hosts Robert & Jennifer, who went out of their way to make our stay perfect. Also the drive to Glacier National Park is just up the road.

About the host

Hosted by Robert and Jennifer Williamson

Host profile image
We are a friendly couple that loves to Host. We originally stumbled into Hosting because of a loft we had above our garage. Well that loft ended up being a hit so we added 2 more additional spaces for guests to rent at that property. As Hosting continued to grow on us over the years, we decided it was time to expand. In May of 2019 we broke ground to begin the building of Fort Williamson Glacier Vacation Rentals. We completed building by June of 2020 and were able to open our doors to begin accepting guests. Fort Williamson Glacier Vacation Rentals offers unique tiny home cabin lodging in the setting of an "Old West Town". The different themed units are a Sheriff 's Jail, Roses Place, Joe's Saloon, Madam Woman's Inn, and Kim's Trading Post. Each of these cabins are uniquely decorated with antiques to reflect the true theme of the cabins. In Jan 2024 we again made plans to expand and set out on that mission to build on our 33 acre Columbia Mountain mountain side property across the highway from Fort Williamson. By Jan 2025 we completed the building of Chug A Lug Springs, our new home with a rental apartment above the garage right at the base of Columbia Mountain. Chug A Lug Springs is a family friendly space so with Fort Williamson and Chug A Lug Springs being close to each other, about 1/4 mile apart, makes it convenient for larger groups to book seperate lodging close to each other. Both of our properties are conveniently located along US Hwy 2 between Columbia Falls, Montana and Glacier National Park. The Park’s west entrance is only 15 minutes away. The Glacier International Airport is only 15 minutes away. The town of Columbia Falls, that has everything you will need is only minutes away. Downtown Whitefish is about 20 minutes away.

Why they chose this property

We are a One Stop Shop with both Cabins and Cars. We have a Fantastic Central Location as our properties are conveniently located right along US Hwy 2 between Columbia Falls, Montana and Glacier National Park. The Park’s west entrance and west Glacier Amtrak station is only 15 minutes away. The Glacier International Airport is only 15 minutes away. The town of Columbia Falls, that has everything you will need is just minutes away. Additionally we are attenuative onsite hosts which is very rare to find these days. We are always nearby or onsite just in case something is needed.

What makes this property unique

We are the only Themed Lodging in the area. We have 5 individual cabins onsite that are built in the setting of an Old West Town. Each cabin at Fort Williamson Glacier Vacation Rentals is completely unique in it's own way. In addition to cabins we offer onsite Car Rentals at a discounted rate through Glacier Specialty Car Rentals. To top it off when you book both a cabin and car with us we will provide a complimentary shuttle service that can pick you up at the Glacier Airport or West Glacier Train Station and bring you to your Cabin and Car. At the end of your trip you will return the car to us and we will provide a shuttle service to shuttle you back for your departure.
